Katy Cooper

Katy’s professional singing career began as an undergraduate at Oxford and a year singing with Clare College Chapel Choir, Cambridge. She has been one of the two regular sopranos at the Grosvenor Chapel, Mayfair, for over a decade, is a regular dep at All Saints Margaret Street and a member of the Consort at St Paul’s Cathedral, and has also sung frequently with the Holst Singers, Polyphony, Philharmonia Voices and others. Her versatility is reflected in the range of engagements she undertakes, including solo soprano in the world première of Sir John Tavener’s all-night vigil The Veil of the Temple, appearances (dressed as a nun) on the BBC’s Call the Midwife, singing for influential electronic musician Aphex Twin and for a silent film scored by Imogen Heap – and more traditional solo roles (with several different choral societies), including Handel oratorios, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, a variety of Requiems (Brahms, Duruflé, Fauré, Chilcott and Mozart), and the Bach Passions and B Minor Mass.
